- Protecting your vehicles from theft and vandalism. California Metal Carports are open structures that ensure that your vehicles are always in sight. This goes a long way to keep and scare burglars away.
- Providing additional storage space for farm tools and other equipment that should not be kept indoors and neither should they be left outside exposed to harsh weather elements.
- Carports can serve as secure playing zones for children and a barbecue area for the whole family and guests.
- It is easier to unload your items and shopping from your car when you get home as the carports are open structures.
- Carports can be modified with features such as skylights. This way, you get to use the sun as your primary source of light. You, therefore, get to save lighting cost and other expenses such as installing electric doors for your garage.
Therefore, all these advantages portray metal carports as versatile structures that could benefit a home in more ways than one. So, contact one of our representatives at Carport1 and order the best carports for sale in California.

However, there are local building codes in California. Our carports in California are available in certified and non-certified formats. California Certified Carports are designed by certified engineers to satisfy the minimum set wind and snow loads rating. So, if your local area demands that certified carport drawings sent over to the local building council before installation, then we will adhere to this requirement.
Metal Frame Gauge

Metal buildings, barns, carports, garages and other structures from Carport1 are built with a metal frame using either 12-gauge or 14-gauge steel. Both of these options are premium metals which can withstand severe weather and wear or tear.
Gauge is the the thickness, size, or capacity of something, especially as a standard measure. In the case of our all-metal buildings, steel gauge means the thickness and strength of the steel components of that structure. Hence, the thicker the framing, the greater strength and the value.

14-gauge Framing
The 14-gauge steel frame from Carport1 measures 2 ½” x 2 ½” inches diameter. The 14 gauge frame tends to be more economical than the 12-gauge frame and has a lower tensile strength. So, metal carport or metal building kits with 14-gauge framing are cost-effective and are recommended in areas with a mild climate.
12 Gauge Framing
The 12-gauge steel frame measures 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” in diameter. It is thicker than the 14-gauge frame and is the strongest Carport1 option available for metal buildings. The 12-gauge framing features higher tensile strength and is more useful for the carports in the areas with heavy snows and winds.
Carport1 recommends that strong concrete foundations are used when constructing metal carports, buildings, barns and other structures in areas prone to tornadoes, hurricanes or hailstorms.
For the areas which receive heavy rainfall and snowfall, Carport1 recommends installing a 12-gauge metal frame and 26-gauge roof panels. For the areas with hot and humid temperature, installing a 14-gauge premium metal frames and 29-gauge roof panels should suffice.

Leaving your vehicle(s) outdoors exposed to California's extreme weather is harmful and destructive. California experiences varied weather conditions at different times of the year. The summer months are hot and dry and the scorching sun makes it difficult to engage even in the simplest of tasks.
During winter, temperatures can get as low as 7 °F. Similarly, snow is a common occurrence during winter along with heavy rains. Prolonged exposure to these harsh weather conditions puts your vehicle(s) at risk of damage and corrosion. There are numerous ways in which harsh weather elements are harmful to your vehicles.
- Exposure to too much sunlight corrodes your vehicles parts and this reduces their lifespan.
- Rain causes the metal parts to rust and this weakens your entire structure.
- Tires that sit on water on a regular basis lose their grip and thread quality.
- In addition, snow settles on your windshield and you’ll have to scrap it away every morning before heading to work. Hectic, isn’t it?
With a metal carport, you can prevent these problems and secure your vehicles for a very long time. Also, Carport1 stocks the best metal carports in California, built in the latest technology into steady structures that protect your vehicles adequately. Contact us now and order your steel carport building.
Roof Styles Recommended for California Residents.
Carport1 offers three styles of strong and attractive roof design, all of which are permitted in California. When customizing your Carport1 steel building, carport, barn and other structure, consider which roof best fits your requirements for weather, use, property and protection. The style of the roof also determines the dead load and live load of the structure. Anyone in California can consider installing a metal building with either of these 3 roof styles.

VERTICAL ROOF STYLE – BEST
Vertical roof style is an A-frame design that works best for harsh climate conditions, such as, heavy snowfall and torrential rain. The vertical roof panel allows snow and water to slide easily off the roof with zero residues. In vertical roof style, the panels on the roof are oriented in a vertical orientation along the width of the structure.
BOXED EAVE STYLE – BETTER
Boxed Eave style, also an A-frame design, is the roof style which has roof panels that are laid horizontally along the length of the carport. This is a more affordable than vertical roof styling. The roof style works best in the moderate climate with the occasional heavy winds or gust.
REGULAR – GOOD
Regular style roof is the most common and economical choice for carports and metal buildings. These metal roofs tend to be lighter than other roof styles. The corrugated ridges run from end to end and they work great in an area with mild weather. This roof style is perfect for protecting your vehicle from direct sunlight or mellow rain/snow.

Additional support

Gable ends
Gable ends are a design feature that increase coverage to your metal carport and building. Triangular in shape, Carport1's attractive all-metal sheet is tightly attached to the roof and provides additional structural support.
Metal carports and metal buildings with gable ends are recommended for many parts of California where harsh weather occurs. Ask about the Carport1 difference.

Panels
Carport1 offers optional all-steel panels on the sides of steel frames for added structural support and strength in our metal and steel carports, garages, barns, RV Covers and other structures. If you live in a section of California that encounters heavy wind and rain typical of tornadoes and hurricanes, we recommend adding panels to outdoor metal structures.
Bows and trusses
Carport1 uses architectural bows and trusses to strengthen and stabilize the roofs of its quality metal buildings. Generally, metal structure with a width size of 24 ft. will include a bow, and those wider than 24 ft. will feature a truss. These features are important for residents of California who experience heavy snowfall or heavy rain.
